That place is arflies-tay, if you can read in pig latin. Aside from the recaps by Zach, ATCs and Carissa I don't really visit it much.

Based off some of the pictures in the episode thread, part of the leg takes place in Taiwan at night, so I'm leaning towards a 24 hour pitstop instead of 36 hour pitstop.

zachattack308, since I had the obligation to set KiwiJay straight on the interpretation of the facts as I see them, I have the identical responsibility relative to you. It might be a 36 hour pitstop, although I highly doubt it. We are starting from the evening of July 26 in Osaka with teams checking into the pitstop there at 7pm to 11pm. Now, based on visual evidence at Taipei 101, multiple teams need to arrive there as close to noon on July 27 as possible. Figure out what that means for the length of the pitstop in Osaka(Hint - the correct answer is 12 hours). There will be a 36 hour extended pitstop after the Taipei area(including the trip south and back) action is completed.

I don't like to throw sand in the gears, but the more I search photos and videos the more this looks like the Umeda Sky bldg. Either they're enjoying some time off, or the first task is to grab an info card from the "floating gardens" (observation platform). Either way, I'm guessing it should be incorporated into schedule planning.

Slowhatch --This is an excellent find and a great match. I am beginning to wonder if the teams will even be going to 101 at all?

We have to see the obligatory TAR so time will be tight. Exactly what evidence do we have for 101 if we were to discount the spoiler? One screencap?

Becuase I think we all (myself included) may have been way too eager to jump on the whole Ron/Christina are eliminated -- and the whole maybe Intersection thing--both of which now look to be in error.

as Slowhatch said they could retrieve a clue from the front of Taipei 101 just like in TAR 3 at the Petronas Towers, however in the spoiler they said that he saw them going up steps correct me if I am wrong

The pic of Nathan may be them in Taipei 101 just from the evidence we found

This leg may turn out to have teams going up and down Hotels like buzoonga

If we map all these places (I know some of them are done) can we see a pattern to help figure out when they go where? and I'm behind again in MAPS!--real life!

and kiwi--we have put a lot of faith into that spoiler--but we also may need to think about what if that wasn't true or right? Or if maybe we just are misinterpreting the whole thing?

Remember the guy that told us that he was on a flight from CDG to, was it LaGuardia? with the final 3 teams, TAR10 ...anyway he verified with his own ticket, even describing the teams, but what we didn't know was that the Bama's were not on that flight and we all know how that turned out

puddin, it is impossible to fly direct from CDG to LGA, as the runways aren't long enough at LaGuardia to accommodate the large commercial planes used across the Atlantic. I believe you meant JFK (Bama was going to Newark so it almost certainly was not Newark).

27 AM release from Osaka(except for Tk and Rachel who should release about 11am) KIX TPE via any of these 3 flights:EG211 1030 1245CX565 1100 1315BR2121 1235 1505

Apskip, since we now have evidence that there may be a route marker in Osaka (Umeda Sky building) before flying to Taiwan, an Hour of Operation at the start of next leg may bunch up the first 3 teams.

If the opening hour is 10am, that means those 3 teams even may not get CX565, thus they may end up taking BR2121.

However, TK/Rachel may not be able to make that flight, so the only possible situation where they could catch up would be when one of those first 3 teams cannot get BR2121 and have to take the next one CI0157 (1340-1550) with TK/Rachel.

Thanks for the friendly welcome! I'll try and post here whenever I update the site in any major way, so that you guys don't have to keep checking.

(BTW, does anyone know if/where there are/were extended Pit Stops in either season of TAR: Asia. My count, without extended pit stops, for season 1 is 21 days, which means there were 4 extended Pit Stops for the advertised total of 25 days.)

Edit: Okay, the timelines/recaps for the Florence and Mumbai legs are up - but given what's been posted upthread, the dates are probably wrong. Sorry!

And feel free to register at the site. You know I love to be loved.

Also, I've posted here before, so it's not really a 'welcome', but more of a 'welcome back'. I posted in one of the race reports that the timeliner over at YouKnowWhere discovered the RoadBlockers for the Poland leg - of course, back then, nobody knew I was talking about myself.

and kiwi--we have put a lot of faith into that spoiler--but we also may need to think about what if that wasn't true or right? Or if maybe we just are misinterpreting the whole thing?

So the guy may have lied about or misinterpreted the whole thing or we could, I dont think I put my faith in he misinterperating Taipei 101 its the tallest skyscraper in Asia I believe, but Lieng that would suck that also would fit in with the "Asians" Spoiler not being true.

Could there also be a speedbump for T.K and Rachel right at the end of the leg or would it be early on in the Leg??
